"Hotel Athena was a great property in Siena right inside the town walls. Very convenient as we had a rental car and did day trips throughout Tuscany. Breakfast buffet was included and great selection and quality of food. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others."

"Nice modern business hotel with spacious rooms. Mine had a balcony too. Plenty of parking on site. I ate in the restaurant which was good and reasonably priced. It’s a bit out of the way, so definitely not somewhere to explore Siena on foot by!"

"Beautiful grounds, great breakfast buffet, swimming pool would be nice in the summer time. We enjoyed the veranda in the sunshine of October. Staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful."

Just a phenomenal place to stay. Great breakfast options in the morning, friendly and helpful staff and the grounds were amazing to walk around. Perfect if you are looking to visit the neighboring villages in Tuscany

Charming, beautifully decorated, and pet-friendly hotel
We enjoyed our stay at this charming hotel. It is very cutely decorated and has lots of character. The location is great if you prefer staying outside the busy city center while still having convenient access to everything.
The room was a good size—not too big or too small—with a comfortable bed and a spacious bathroom. Breakfast was also very good, offering everything you need to start the day.

Staff was most helpful and provided indications for visiting Siena. Breakfast buffet was excellent and the terrace outside where we had breakfast was lovely. Location is fine but you need a car to get to Siena.

We loved this place and it was by far the best place we stayed during our time in Italy. The property is breathtaking and the service/staff is amazing. All the food we had was phenomenal and fresh. The wine is to die for. This is the type of place that is so good that you almost don’t want to tell people about it to keep it secret. Hope to be back again someday.

Stained here at the end of an eight day trip around Italy. This hotel was head and shoulders above the others I visited, it is a boutique hotel of seven rooms. Our room was a suite. It was bigger than many apartments, with a large living room with daybed, a beautiful master bathroom with jetted tub and separate shower with jets overhead as well as side jets, ample closet storage, fridge, and safe. The rooms here have antique furniture and hand painted ceilings. I loved the breakfast on the...

The hotel was beautiful and memorable. The hotel had a remarkable staff. Everyone was very friendly and so very polite. Speaking to Francesca and Francisco was truly a wonderful experience. We hope to return someday. Thanks to everyone.

Beautiful property with large rooms, parlors, great staff, great restaurant, etc. We arrived late and the kitchen was closed, but they made one call and re-opened it for us and served an amazing meal with late night enthusiasm on a beautiful deck. The rooms were large, nice baths and very comfortable beds. We wanted to stay another night to relax by the pool and enjoy the wonderful grounds, but they were booked so we had to move on as this was a last minute booking. Great breakfast in the...

This property is in a perfect location and inside a beautiful Palazzo. I have traveled to 123 countries on business and pleasure over the last 25 years and the Borghesi Siena is in the top 1% for me. Book now and did not look for other properties.
